This 5-hour course will provide participants with an introduction to
Foundations, North Carolina’s new Early Learning and Development
expectations, how they are structured, and how to implement them
in early childhood settings. Participants will
 Define what a learning expectation is and why we have and use learning expectations.
 Demonstrate how foundations reflects what is known about childhood development.
 Explain that goals for any age level describe expectations that many children will reach toward the
end of their respective age level.
 Describe how foundations can be used for differentiation and individualization and to help children with cultural, linguistic and ability diversity.
 Explain how foundations is aligned with Common Core and NC’s Essential standards – but do not require teachers of younger children to teach those standards.
